A Decision Us to Green's Drive Well
Patent.

The Drive-well litigation recent
decided in the United States Sup
RENE Court, and which has been a
matter of such financial import
ance to thousands of Ohio farmers,
took another turn yesterday. The
famous Green patent was decided
invalid by Justice Blatchford, bas-
ed upon the record in case No. IL,
Andrew Green ct al. v. George
Hovey, brought into the Supreme
court by an appeal from the United
States Circuit for the Southern
district of Iowa. 1t appears that
in this hearing, upon which the de-
cision Of Justice Blatchford is ba-
ed, it was shown for the first time
that the invention was used in
public at Courtland, N. Y, by 9TH
ers than Green more than two
years before an application for Al
patent was made by Green. This
fact was fatal to the validity of the
Green patent, and the decree of
the Circuit court in favor of the
alleged infringer Hovey is affirm
ed.
The opinion of the Supreme
Court knocks out the claims of GER
tain parties who have heen going
about the Stute collecting $40
royalty from every farmer who
had n drove we'll upon his place,
and is IL splendid victory for the
farmers Of Franklin, Ross. Licking,
Knox, Pickaway, Highland and
numerous other counties, who or
ganized to resist the collection of
that tax. Thousands OF dollars
have been paid, however, by parties
who did not desire to enter into
any litigation In the matter, and
this eap be recovered by due pro.
cess of law.
The opinIon of the Supreme court
Will be- hailed with genuine delight
by farmers everywhere, who knew
that the Green patent should have
had no force In law, whatever the
decision Of the Supreme court

Senator Sherman Is reported as
saying: ~ think the deprivation of
the negro vote in the South should
have been made an issuein the cam
pa'gn lin New York; and the com
manding issue. / made it in Ohio"
Here we have a Senator, a man
who ought certainly to be above
such petty tricks and lodges, up
braiding his party brethren in an
other State, because they staked
the election on the real issues and
lost, and did not try to deceive the
people. Any fairmintled man will
admit that the questionable real
question for the people of New York
to dPcide-Was as to whether Mr..
Cook or Mr.. Grant was the better
fitted mar in all respects to serve
them as Secretary of S ate. What
had this negro vote question to do
with the election in New York :?
Granting that what Senator Sher-
man sees in his minds eye really
exists, how was it possible for the
electors of New York to vote so as
to make it either better or worse?
But If the people of New York were
Interested in this hobby of Senator
Sherman's, during the campaign,
why are they any less 81 now?
Why does the Senator not go speak
ing though the State of New York
preaching this new-found truth of
his? The fact is the Senator has Il
trick. He is sort of a political
sleight of hand performer. He has
discovered how to substitute false
for real issue, before the peoples
eyes, and they not notice the decept-
.io.,. Senator Sherman would have
had the people vote upon the quest
ion of whether secession should be
stamped ont or not, and upon that
vote elect set Of State officers.
Senator Sherman should be
ashamed to voice such sentiments.

Let Us Guard Against Anarchy.


The following characteristic and
highly seasoned inflamatory har-
angue was delivered over the
open graves of the dead Anarchists
by Robert Reitzel, editor of Der
Arme Teufel (the poor deciO of De-
troit, who stood in the front of the
five cOffins. He spoke in German.
Loud was his voice and excited
was his manner. This is what he
said:
"Icame with the intention to make
Il terrible accusation. Not an ac.
cusation against the horde OF
church-goers who in their self
righteousness to-day rejoice in loud
tones that the five men whose re-
mains we consign to the dust art
dead; not against the hangman ot
this country who is called Sheriff
by the brutes in human disguise
who clamor for the life and blood
of the poor; not against the jnry
who obeyed the mandate of these
brutes; but against the working
men because they stood calmly by
when five of their best men We're
foully and brutally murdered. In
the agOnies of death these five
men expected that the henious
crime committed against them
would he avenged in streams OF
blood, and they had II right to ex.
pect it. Lingg, the brave, til.
heroic, the manly, was right when
he said self-preservation in thess
days was II crime. Here in til,
presence Of these murdered mei
swear to it that you will organic,

swear," came the sullen gro.v,
from many. 1t was not possible t,
identify any one in the darkness
"We AFFIRM" continued til,
speaker, "that we will have bloc,
I blood. We do rot grieve oye.
these men who are dead, but we d.
grieve that in this century murder
most foul can be committed under
the guise Of authority and Law
We grieve at ourselves that we di,

to you with Herwegh: 'We.hav

The harangue caused an irresis
able out burst of applause. W,
desire to ask the serious questio!
What is the state of mind of I'll.
men and women who will STAN.
and listen to and applaud such
sentiments? What must he the
light in which American law,

Gov. oglesby's Significant Utter
anCe0..

Chicago Special: Gov. Oglesby made an
address to the Locomotive Engineers con.
vention on the 10th, which indicates pref.
ty clearly his feeling towards the anarch-
lists. In trenchant words he denounced the
lawless methods OF the "Reds." "There
have been cases in this fair land," he said,
"when hungry men with hungry wives and
children at home have listened to the
flashy sentences of men who thought they
could interpose themselves between the
laboring people and the steady march of
law and order and justice. Acts of vio-
lence followed, and, all too late. they
found they were not potent enough to
change the tide of affairs. Appeals to the
Justice OF the people will always result in
justice; but violence and the outrages of
the laws and OF Justice will meet with in
evitable punishment"
The Governor was often applauded, and
his remarks as to violence were understood
to be a statement of his attitude in
the case Of the condemned anarchis is.
Everybody inferred from the Governors
speech that the anarchists stand a slim
chance OF pardon, or even q Communication

No Advertising on Mail Matter.

The recent postal order, which includes
envelopes or wrappers bearing advertise
ments other than the name of the sender,
has aroused much interest among business
men. DR.. Day, postmaster at st. Paul,
rendered the following opinion in the
matter:
1t does not affect first .chass
matter, but it does second, third
and fourth classes. The law pre-.
scribes what can be put on the outside,
and the strict Interpretation of the rule
allows nothing else. On second-class mat
ter, which is newspapers, the sender can
put on the date at which the subscription
expires, or he can fold inside q receipted
bill OF the subscription. On third and
f~ourth.class matter after the word from"
he can put the name of the sender-say,
John Smith, but he can't put on DR.. John
Smith, OF John Smith, Grocer. Therefore
Uncle Sans mails are protected from be-
ing used as ar advertising medium.

unfairly, then the protection which the
fourteenth amendment isintended to give

Mr.. Pryor's second point was:
The petitioners had been compelled in the
trial court to be witnesses against them.
selves. Some Of them were on the stand,
and in spite Of the protests Of their
sci they were compelled to submit to an
unrestrained cross.examination and to
eliminate themselves. Compelling q man to
testify against himself is not due process Of
law. Furthermore, after their arrest the
police, without n process OF law, broke
open their private desks and extracted
from them letters, and other eliminating
evidence, and these letters, gotten without
due process OF law, were used against
them. When the objection was raised it
was overruled, and an exception was tax.
EN-.
The Chief Justice-Can you point us to
the precise exception that vas taken?
Mr.. Pryor read extracts from the record
covering the seizure of Spies papers with.
out a search warrant and the use OF them
against him, and maintained that this
was virtually compelling him to testify
against himself in violation OF the fifth
amendment to the constitution.
The chief justice held q brief whispered
consultation with several OF the associate
iustices,including Field, Miller, Harlan and
Matthews, and then said: (
Mr.. Pryor, you may have printed at
once, II possible, the parts of the record
which raise these questions, and hand
them to us this afternoon or early to.mor.
row morning, and on Monday we will indi.
cate what is further necessary to be done.
Mr.. Pryor bowed, and all Of the counsel
for the anarchists and most of the large
audience which had assembled streamed
out of the court room.
